According to Google search trends, everyone wants to know: "Where is Gonzaga Â鶹¹ÙÍø located?" In 2019, the query even made it to Google's list as one of the most searched questions beginning with "Where is...?"

Well, we have the answer: Gonzaga Â鶹¹ÙÍø is located in Spokane, Washington.

And where is ?

The second largest city in Washington state, it’s in the heart of the Inland Northwest, the non-ocean-reaching part of the broader Pacific Northwest, a region popularly called the Great PNW or “Upper Left.” 

We sit close to the 49th parallel, which means we’re close to the Canadian border (just about 100 miles). .

Spokane also borders northern Idaho to the east, and is surrounded by a diverse terrain that includes old-growth forests, mountains, scrub desert, rivers and lakes, and rolling hills of farmland called . 

Our city is known for having the largest timed road-race () and the largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament (), two summertime events that draw tens of thousands of guests.

We’re big enough to have a thriving arts community that includes a symphony, civic theatre and dozens of art galleries, as well a performing arts center that hosts a Broadway series every year.

But the beauty of Spokane’s size is that it’s also small enough that dealing with traffic means a 20-minute trip from any given point to another in the urban area. “Rush hour” means I-90 has slowed down to 15-20 miles per hour for a total distance of about two miles. We have it rough. 

Spokane has amazing health care options, public and non-traditional K-12 educational offerings, four universities and a community college system within city limits.

“The Lilac City” also has an easy-to-navigate airport, so take note when it’s time to visit during the NCAA regional basketball tournament in March Madness. Which brings us back to Gonzaga – located on the Spokane River, just a short walk from downtown.
